Japan's iPhone craze attracts global app developers

I used to love the iphone when nobody here had one. Now everybody has one. Going for the android now. heh

Now that the yen has been at about 80 to the dollar for a while maybe Apple should start using that exchange rate rather than 120.

and why cell phones are called “galakei,”

They are? Hilarious! I have never heard this term in all my years in Japan. Must be a techie thing.

Galapagos

I am going to ask my Japanese friends to try to say this word. Must be a doozie like McDonald's

Papaguilio, you are a true pioneer. i'm waiting for you to set the next trend for japan to follow

majimeaussie - They've apparently started doing that with the Apple TV. Here it's ￥8800 and in the States I got mine for $99 while I was home in October. I honestly thought they wouldn't bring Apple TV here because who wants to buy or rent J-TV shows and the very limited library of movies that they have.

Who ever thought the App would kill the computer? But in a mobile society like Japan the cell or tablet makes more sense to most. Android Apps close #2 ---> #1.

Apple TV is making a resurgence with the new OS (better f(x) with iPhone/Mac and lower price point. Blu-Ray players with WiFi and Apps also.

All about Android.
